More Pictures from the McKenzie

These were just uploaded from the Oregon Christian Rafters and Paddlers website - we didn't get any awesome ones of hitting some major rapids, but I guess there are still two photographers who snap your picture from the shore next to Martins Rapids, so we'll have to see what those look like and whether or not we want to invest when they are put on the websites.

Here's our "little family":And a great one of Travis and the "very brave" Stephie.....At the lunch break, my dad decided to take disciplining Brayden's very obnoxious behavior (he was on the boat so I can't testify to it.... I can't imagine him being anything but a perfect angel!) into his own hands.... Good for my dad!

Here is a picture of the girls - "Before":And "After":And, one of the few shots we had of us actually in the raft - this was the boat with my mom and dad, Michael and Michele, Ellie, Brayden and Traig, and the raft guide, Brian.And, finally, a picture of Traig with a huge beaming smile, pretty much summed the whole experience up.

About Me

1 Peter 3:15
"But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have."
-----While I can't say that is my "life verse", it is one of my favorites and I can only hope and pray that the content in this blog reflects the hope and joy in my heart because of the relationship my family and I share in Christ.
We are a family of four, my son is 16, my daughter 14, and as for my husband and I, well we've been married for 19 years - with much more "better" than "worse" to report.
I spend my days taking care of the home, interacting with the amazing friends and family in my life- and on weekdays, watching our best friends' precious daughter, Whitley - such an extraordinary gift!
While this blog was created for the purposes of keeping family members up to date on the happenings of our life as well as recording our memories, I hope that if you choose to stop by and read a post or two, you'll find yourself encouraged by the musings of this all-too-imperfect mom.
